forever going to be thinking abt the memory of Finn seeing the sun for the first time,,,, bc aside from it being one of the most important moments of his life, what he said was really interesting to me. "why have they been keeping this from us?"
it's such specific word choice. not 'why are we told to fear this' or 'why am i the first to see this', but keeping this from us. and I think it reveals a lot about the elders. I always assumed "Finn Tidestrider was the first person to leave the trench for the oversea" meant no one else had done it because people were scared to do so. We know from Gillion that undersea folk are taught that people from the oversea are awful liars that only want to use and hurt you, and we know from Gillspar in the final voyage that people would judge Finn if he left- but what Finn said really seems to imply that the elders were actively stopping people from leaving. If they were doing that, it would explain why Finn would be judged for going- because undersea folk trust the elders completely, and if they don't want you doing something, don't fucking do it.
It would also explain why Finn left so suddenly. Maybe he was thinking about it for a while. Maybe it was just a spur of the moment decision. The only reason anyone knew he went to the surface is because Gillspar and little Gillion walked in on him when he was about to leave, because the elders can't stop him if no one knows he's going to begin with.

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.
